Bio-Engineered Supplements & Nutrition

Bio-Engineered Supplements & Nutrition (BSN) is an American nutritional supplement company. Founded in 2001, the company is currently based in Boca Raton, Florida, and its products are distributed in over 90 countries worldwide.

History

Bio-Engineered Supplements and Nutrition, Inc. (BSN) was founded in 2001, and employs over 120 individuals at its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida and its warehouse in Tennessee. In 2007 Inc 500 ranked BSN No. 27 among the fastest-growing privately held companies in America , No. 2 among the fastest-growing privately held companies in Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Miami Beach, FL, No. 4 among the fastest-growing companies in the Health industry & No. 6 among the fastest-growing companies in the Southeast.

In 2003, BSN was issued an Ephedra and misclaim warning letter for their weight-management supplement, Thermonex.

In 2007 a federal district court in California certified a class action against the company. In the lawsuit, the company was charged with fraud for selling products that falsely claim to contain a new and improved form of creatine called CEM3 or Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate.

In August 2006, BSN launched a clothing line, Train Like a Freak Apparel.

In July 2008, BSN became the Official Nutritional Supplement Provider of the UFC.

BSN's product line is diverse, including weight management products like Thermonex and Atro-Phex; an energy drink (EndoRush); and traditional bodybuilding-oriented supplements, such as products designed to boost blood nitric oxide levels or that contain creatine or a derivative thereof, such as N.O.-Xplode and Cellmass, and protein supplements such as True-Mass and Syntha-6.

BSN products can be found at health/supplement stores and online retailers.

BSN and its products have received over 25 consumer-voted awards from online supplement retailer Bodybuilding.com over the past five years, more than any other company in the industry during that time.
